Can anyone tell me what these are?

Hi all, a guy from another forum I'm on found these in his loft and we've all been trying to figure out what they are. So far we have no definate answer, so I thought I'd give you clever lot a chance.

Get out quick Sten grenades

Only joking

Ha ha. Yeah we've been through the grenade stage. Best we can think of at the moment is something for spinning rope or similar.

They actually look like the innards of a parifin burner/heater with a wick feeder.

maybe there is a combined horizontal chimney flue that connects them together but is missing, yep im probably totally wrong but an orangerie or greenhouse heater possibly victorian or a little later and mounted high up hence the need for the wick mech and the wires.. LOL
